Exactly what does XFCE do when I enable and disable networking?
I accidentally turned off networking when I wanted to turn off Wi-Fi through the drop-down menu from the notification area.
Question is, what does XFCE do in the background when networking is turned off and on and what CLI command can I use to re-enable (and disable) all networking if I accidentally disable networking when I sign in to root through the serial debug port?

Xfce doesn't do anything in the background - it doesn't include a networking component in its code.
and what CLI command can I use to re-enable (and disable) all networking if I accidentally disable networking
This will depend on the networking component that your distro has provided.

Ok. I was directed here by someone from the Armbian forum. Below is what I clicked on by accident which fully disabled anything to do with networking without any warning of confirmation. I guess the question then is what does clicking that option invoke.

This is the task of the network manager. You can see which one is installed in the settings.
